Lyric

The city lights are blurring through the glass

Bringing back the shadows of a distant past

I used to care so much, I couldn't even breathe

But I was too stubborn to wear my heart on my sleeve

That afternoon, we let the moment slip away

With all the words we were too young to say

Time has a way of drifting out of line

But the long detours made this moment mine

It’s not like before, we’ve changed since then

But my heart starts to shake when I see you again

The feelings I pretended to forget for so long

Are untangling now, like the notes of a song

In the quiet of the night, in the look in your eyes

I’m letting down my guard, no more disguise

I saw the ring that used to catch the light

On your left hand, shining through the night

I acted like I didn't care, I played it so cool

While my heart was breaking like a lonely fool

"It didn't work out," you whispered so low

And in your shadow, I saw the woman I know

We gathered our scars, through the highs and the lows

Now I can hold the pain that everybody knows

It’s not like before, we’ve changed since then

But our voices are blending, again and again

The past and the future weren't a waste of our time

They’re a melody ringing, a beautiful chime

A new story starts in the city tonight

Let’s build a life that’s finally right

Looking through the glass at the stars up above

Twinkling again with a version of love

The hands of the clock that were frozen in stone

Are starting to move to a beat of their own

It’s not like before, we’ve changed since then

But the core of our hearts is blooming again

The childish promise that I couldn't keep

Is waking up now from a long, lonely sleep

I’ll tell you the truth in the cool evening air

No more hiding the love that was always there

It’s not like before, the colors are new

But I love the "us" that is me and you

Right here, right now
